Coke Machines In

All Coca-Cola vending machines
in the Third Squadron area were
removed last week, said Lukje Har
rison, dean of men at the Annex.
This action followed the willful
damaging of one of the machines,
|to the extent of $145.50, sail) Har-
rison.
“It is regrettable that ^U the
men in that area have to suffer,”
he said, “for the faults of a few
inconsiderate men," “If such an in
cident occurs again, the 'Coca-Cola
Company will remove all machines
from all barracks ateas,” He add
ed. j f •:
Part of the money realized from
the coke vending machines goes

Now that the sun is shining longer each day and the

OutbreakOf
Tha. Meant outbreak of meaalaa
at tha Annex ia nothing to be
alarmed over. Mid officials of the
eollegje’a medical department Tues
day afternoon. Tha number of cases
here are only a part of a state
wide epidemic. / ;
Living as close together as the
students at the Annex do, said
Mrs. D. H. Arenburg, nurse at the
Annex clinic, they have not re
ported very many cases ns com
pared to the number of students
housed here. The only way to com
bat the disease is to use an alert
eye, remembering that the symp
toms for measles are small lumps
behind the ears and about the
hairline. The eyes usually burn
with a red color, and a temperature
is usually present that the inti
vidual is unaware of.
Because of the number of cases
present here, the Medical depart
ment of the Annex advises that
all company first sergeants or some
officer of each company hold pe
riodic checks of each man in his
unit until the outbreak subsides.

| A local freshman brought a bit
of academic recognition to the An

Goodwyn defeated the United

team. This uniformed “Bryant” is
James R. Farmer, erf College Sta
tion.
The two Aggies met the West
Point cadets in debate Saturday
at the main campus at 11 a;m.
Coached by H. E. Hierth, English
professor at the Annex, they de
fended the negative side of the
subject, “Resolved: that the Fed
eral government should adopt a
policy of equalizing educational
O pportunities in tax-supported
chools by meandi of Annual
grants.”
] Farmer and Goodwyn were se
lected to represent A&M at the de
bate by a tryout held among mem
bers of the Aggie {debating club.,
A member of the freshman
band, Farmer has {been literally
hiding behind a trumpet for a
semester, and few. of his band
mates knew of his debating abil
ities. A business major, he was
recently appointed as one of the
two hand drum majors.
Starting his speaking work mm h
onhomorc at Adamson High
lenoo) of Dallas, Farmer was pros-
lent of the high School debuting
club and a member of the National
Honor Society. His debating team
won the Texas Interscholastic
League championship in both 1947
and 1948.
On “Boys’ State Day” in 1947,
Farmer served as adjutant-gen
eral of the state of Texas, where
he was assigned to inspect Camp
Mabry National Guard Post at
'Ataatfai. | ' ■
Although his family and hi?
stepfather, R. M. Wingren, who is
a mechanical engineering instruc
tor, live on the campus, Farmer
lives at the Annex in Barracks

TCU Cager Due To
Be First Five j
Year Letterman
FORT WORTH, (Spl) — Gene
Sdimidt, veteran guard and cap
tain of the TCU 1949 basketball
team, will become the first five-
year varsity letterman in South
west Conference history a year
from now.
In a ruling handed down by the
Conference’s executive secretary,
James H. Stewart, Schmidt has
been declared eligible to play for
the Frogs again next season. Al
ready a four-year letterman, Sch
midt becomes eligible for next year
under a conference ruling covering
athletes whose participation was
interrupted by military service.
Stewart announced Schmidt’s
eligibility in a letter, revealed to
day be TCU Athletic Director How
ard Grubbs, in reply to a TCU re
quest for a ruling.
Prior to the last two seasonsr-
1948-49 and 1947-48-Schmidt had
played for TCU lees than two half
seasons, previous to his entry inito
military service and following his
return to civilian status, respifc-
tively. He played during thje early
part of the 1944-4l!f season, un|til
he withdrew from school to join
tho Army on Jan. 19, 1945. Fol
lowing his discharge, ho registered
St TCU on Jan, 27, 1047, for the
second Homester and played the
remainder of that Hoason.
Stewart ruled that these two half
neiuon* constituted R o h m i d t ’ s
freshman year, leaving him one ad
ditional year of eligibility.

scorer in 1047-47 and second after

will begin ranching in Colorado.
One point that all these boys
agree on is that no longer do they
consider themselves Mexicans or
